While the straight-line distance is about 3.5 miles, the actual travel distance by road is roughly 4.5 to 5 miles depending on the route taken.
Travel time varies significantly by mode of transportation. By subway, taking the downtown 2/3 or 4/5 express trains from Times Square-42nd Street to Wall Street takes about 15-20 minutes. A taxi or rideshare can take 20-40 minutes depending on traffic, while walking the distance would take roughly 1.5 to 2 hours.
For commuters and visitors, the subway remains the most reliable option, especially during peak hours when surface traffic congests the avenues. The financial district's concentration of subway lines makes Wall Street easily accessible from virtually anywhere in Manhattan.
